Application
(Z)-4-Hydroxytamoxifen has been used:
- as a media supplement to study the cell viability by WST-1 Assay
- for inducing deletion of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β gene in mice
- to induce Cre recombinase activity in vitro.
Biochem/physiol Actions
4-Hydroxytamoxifen (4-HT) is the active metabolite of tamoxifen which binds estrogen receptors (ER) and estrogen-related receptors (ERR) with estrogenic and anti-estrogenic effects. It is a cell permeable, selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). In Cas9 variants engineered with ligand-dependent inteins 4-Hydroxytamoxifen was used control Cas9 function, which reduced off target effects in CRISPR-mediated gene editing.
